Piero Miguel Vergara

After murdering his bride on the night of their wedding, a panicked groom races down a road to dispose of her body before dawn. But as the miles disappear beneath his tires, unsettling phone calls, impossible visions, and a growing presence in the backseat begin to blur the line between reality and nightmare. Trapped alone with his guilt, he soon discovers that some truths refuse to stay buried.

In this time-defying, satirical adaptation of Miguel López de Legazpi's archived letters, the 16th-century Spanish expedition instead encounters present-day Cebu. The same difficulties with the island’s natives lead to their decision to leave for the other Philippine islands.

Three men. Three stories. Noel, a fisherman battling with his curiosity, commits a grave mistake and ends up paying the price. Xander, a man assigned to track down an evasive drug pusher, finds the man’s blind daughter who is longing for her island hometown instead. Emman, a stranger seeking refuge in a seaside village, is befriended by a local who asks for his help but finds that there is more to the boy than what meets the eye. Huwebes Huwebes is a triptych of stories that embraces the sea, depicting different lives, all battling one war.
